Tires BRIDGESTONE or Giti

I drive spiritedly and the performance of the WP has not been disappointing although they are definitely not summer tires I also do not lose traction as easily in water or cold (New England).

So far, I have to say I love them! They are WAY quieter than the OEM Khumo's I pulled off my Seltos and the ride is excellent with them.

Bridgestone turanza 225/45/19, it’s noisy but I love’m it lasts for ages

One thing to note with 200TW autocross tires is that they usually will heat cycle out prior to the tread being done. For RE-71R's, that was always at about 125 runs with mine when I could get away with 200 runs and ~5k or more of street miles.

You'll never go wrong with Bridgestone

I've had the Weatherpeak tires for a month now and I love them, they are much quieter than the factory Khumo's that came with my Seltos and they handle very well. Can't wait to play with them in the snow and our fun Saskatchewan winter...

I have the same car and just got bridgestone turanza quiettrack tires. I didn't like the Goodyear that came with the car as I felt they were loud and you felt everything in the road. The Bridgestone we're a huge upgrade. Very quiet and smooth ride.

Got new tires on my I3s. Drive is smoother than stock tires.

The Bridgestone RE780 AS is another excellent tire- I'd say it's nearly as good as the Michelin, definitely better than the BFG. Where it falls down is cost- it's about the same price as the Michelin PS A/S line of all seasons and does not have the same performance. Great in the dry, great in the wet- the dry grip is not as good as the Michelin.

I just turned 500 miles on the Bridgestone Potenza RE97AS that came on my SE. While they are far from the worst tire, I can't help but feel that it's a terrible match for the GTI. Even with the traction control, it's struggling to get any kind of grip off the line, and I'm talking like quarter throttle. On a brighter note, they don't squeal much around turns and are relatively quiet.
